BOOTS kicked off last year’s boxing day sale with some serious discounts across departments.
And given some big offers during Black Friday this year, we’d be surprised if Boxing Day doesn’t follow suit.
Big discounts are expected at Boots this Boxing Day
The retailer regularly takes part in the Boxing Day sales, and offers discounts across most product ranges.
Last year, Boots didn’t do anything unexpected in its timings of its Boxing Day sale – it didn’t start on Christmas day, like Argos.
This year we’ll be picking the best offers when the sale does start. If you can’t wait there’s a ‘better than half price’ sale on NOW across departments.

Offers on big names across departments is the norm for Boots sale events
What was in the Boots sale last year?
Boots 2017 Boxing Day sale saw big discounts in fragrances and gift sets.
Among the best offers were 50 per cent off on brands such as Jack Wills, Champneys and soap and Glory.
And there were savings of a third on premium gift sets too – not forgetting ‘3 for 2’ offers on selected No7 skincare.
What will be in the Boots Boxing Day sale in 2018?
We don’t yet know what will feature, but fragrance and bathroom sets could once again be in Boots’ sale.
Beauty technology products including electric toothbrushes are also likely to offer solid savings.
Another area Boots tends to offer sale savings in is baby and child.

So I should note, I should probably have drafted this post BEFORE presents were wrapped but never mind.. This Christmas, Tazmyn and I decided to do my mum a stocking full of all her favourite things and then two main presents under the tree. We probably didn’t realise how many stocking fillers there actually were […]

I love reading about Advent Calendars, and I love seeing what people have been getting every day of December. So here’s what I’ve had out of the first half of this years Beauty Advent Calendar. 1. Soap & Glory Hand Food – I already love this and I’ve just ran out of my last Hand […]

In October last year, my parents decided to renew their wedding vows and have a ceremony, inviting all of our friends and family to celebrate. I loved this idea as I loved any excuse to dress up and party and spend precious time with those who I am close with. After a lot of consideration, […]

Located in the historic Mentionville community near Cathead Creek, the Upper Mill Cemetery was originally known as the Presbyterian Cemetery. As well as prominent early white settlers of Darien, including William Carnochan and Henry Todd, many of the community’s most important African-Americans are buried here. It has come to be known as the Upper Mill […]

It may only be October but I’ve already started looking around to get ideas for Christmas presents for friends and family. My main go to places are usually Boots and Debenhams due to the amount of selection and both offer online ordering and have a three for two offer on. Also if you have a […]

HOLLY Willoughby’s fashion sense, glowing complexion and fantastic figure have all been admired by I’m A Celeb fans.
The presenter knows how to look after herself and the first thing she did in Oz is head to a spa for a massage treatment.
Holly Willoughby keeps in top shape and we can share how she does it
Today we’ve looked at the exercise routine that helps keep her in top shape and looked at overnight spas in the UK….
Kickboxing
It’s easy to sign up to a bodycombat class
Bodycombat classes combine influences from boxing, karate, taekwondo and tai chi – similar to kickboxing.
Great for burning fat, toning muscles and heart health.
I gave it a go at Nuffield Health and the 55 minutes classes are tough – you punch, jab and do leg kicks in time to music.
You feel as though you’ve really done a good workout.
You can try one by going to the Nuffield website and downloading a FREE one-day pass.
Pilates
Pick up a pilates map… it won’t cost much
Research by Decathlon recently showed that Pilates and yoga are the fourth favourite exercise for women after swimming, the gym and cycling.
It even beats running because it gives you long, lean muscles and strength in your core to help prevent back injuries.
All you need to get started is an online video or local class and an extra thick mat as you’ll need to roll on your spine.
Decathlon do an extra thick one with a spongy texture that costs just £17.99.
Quinoa
This newly launched Quinoa is among the best
Holly says she loves quinoa.
This protein rich seed contains all nine essential amino acids and she uses quinoa flakes – which can be used a bit like porridge oats – to make granola with dates.
Homespun Foods have just launched Quinoa Crunch made with buckwheat flakes, coats, seeds, coconut and goji berries.
Perfect as a cereal or yoghurt topper. Lovely crunch.
£4.99 for 275g box with Ocado

Moddershall Oaks – Simply Spa Break
Moddershall Oaks in Staffordshire
This country spa retreat in Staffordshire boasts an outdoor heated vitality pool, steam and sauna plus indoor hydrotherapy suite.
The package includes a luxury overnight stay with spa access, dinner and breakfast as well as a hot stone massage with facial – the perfect treatment duo, left feeling completely relaxed and my skin rejuvenated.
Dinner in their award-winning restaurant was great, a two course meal with loads of tasty options.
Would definitely recommend.
From £295. See Moddershalloaks.com.

Champneys, Henlow
Champneys is the ideal gift experience
A one night getaway in a double room with a 25 minute facial and Thalasso therapy session included.
You also get unlimited access to the spa facilities which include a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and access to all their fitness classes.
Three course dinner as well as buffet breakfast and lunch the following day are also included in the deal.
Henlow is currently undergoing renovation but Buyagift have deals available at three other Champneys locations as well as hundreds of other spa breaks nationwide.
£300 via buyagift.co.uk.

The Titanic Spa near Huddersfield, West Yorks
The Titanic spa is ‘first class’
This might be the cheapest but this eco-friendly spa is brilliant, with fantastic facilities – a gym, pool, steam room, aromatherapy room, foot spas, ice room, outdoor Jacuzzi, relaxation room and a warm Yorkshire welcome from all the staff.
There is an amazing bar where you can have a mocktail (or cocktail!) and the rooms are mini apartments.
For £179 you get a welcome drink, breakfast in your room and a really tasty lunch and dinner.
[article-rail-section title=”MOST READ IN FABULOUS” posts_category=”30″ posts_number=”12″ query_type=”popular” /]
The price includes a 55 treatment.
I had a first class Decleor massage. Brilliant place to relax – and have a fun getaway.
£179 via Titanicspa.com.
